                    ACT MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Statements

    The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements furnished
herein reflect all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are of a
normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of results for these
interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in ACT Manufacturing, Inc.'s ("the Company") annual consolidated financial
statements have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis substantially
consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements. The results of
operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended
December 31, 2000 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Basis of Consolidation

    The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of ACT Manufacturing, Inc. and its majority-
owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. All of the Company's subsidiaries are on a calendar year-end except
for ACT Manufacturing Thailand, which has a November 24 year-end. Accordingly,
its financial position and results of operations for the three-month period
ended February 24, 2001 are included in our first quarter consolidated financial
statements.


2. BANK FINANCING

    On March 29, 2001, ACT Manufacturing Thailand entered into a new Credit
Agreement ("Thai Credit Agreement") with Thai Farmers Bank Public Company
Limited and Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited.  The Thai Credit Agreement
provides that the lenders will make available to ACT Manufacturing Thailand up
to approximately $53.5 million in revolving loans, term loans and machinery
loans for a term of five years.  The Thai Credit Agreement is secured by land,
buildings and machinery, and the guarantee of ACT Manufacturing, Inc.  In
addition, the Thai Credit Agreement provides for approximately $1.3 million
(60.0 million Thai baht) in working capital availability.  Borrowings will bear
interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%.

    On June 29, 2000, the Company revised its senior credit arrangements with a
syndicate of financial institutions led by The Chase Manhattan Bank as
administrative agent, to increase the Company's previous credit facility. The
Company's Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement") with these lenders provides that
the lenders will make available to the Company up to $150.0 million of revolving
loans (up to $20.0 million of which the Company may use in a variety of
currencies, and the balance of which the Company may use in U.S. dollars) and up
to $100.0 million of term loans. The Company borrowed $75.0 million of the term
loan on August 31, 2000 to fund a portion of the purchase price of ACT
Manufacturing France. The Company borrowed the remaining $25.0 million of the
term loan on December 27, 2000 to refinance a portion of the debt of ACT
Manufacturing Thailand.

    The Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial
conditions, including net worth and the ratios of total debt, senior secured
debt and interest and other fixed charges, to earnings. The credit facility is
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries. In addition, the Credit Agreement limits the Company's ability,
among other things, to incur debt, grant liens, dispose of its properties, pay
dividends, make capital expenditures or investments or enter into mergers or
acquisitions.

    The revolving loans are subject to a borrowing base formula, under which the
Company may borrow up to specified percentages of the value of various
categories of its assets, including qualified accounts receivable, inventory,
machinery and equipment. Interest is payable either monthly or quarterly, at the
election of the Company, at an interest rate based on either the prime rate of
The Chase Manhattan Bank or the prevailing rates in the Eurocurrency market. The
Company must repay all revolving loans by June 28, 2005. The Company is required
to repay all term loans in quarterly installments from December 31, 2000 through
June 28, 2005.   During the first quarter of 2001, the Company repaid $3.0
million of these term loans in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

    On December 27, 2000, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit
Agreement which makes available additional five year term loans (the "Additional
Term Loans") in the aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, subject to certain
conditions. The Company is required to draw on the Additional Term Loans no
later than May 18, 2001. The Company is required to repay substantially all of
the principal amount on all outstanding Additional Term Loans by June 28, 2006.

    At March 31, 2001, $122.0 million of the Credit Agreement was utilized for
revolving loans, $1.7 million was utilized for letters of credit and an
additional $26.3 million was available for use based upon the applicable
borrowing base.  At March 31, 2001, $100.0 million of the outstanding revolving
loans were at an interest rate of 7.56% and the remaining $22.0 million were at
an interest rate of 9.5%.  At March 31, 2001, $94.0 million was outstanding on
the term loan at an interest rate of 7.59%.

    At February 24, 2001, ACT Manufacturing Thailand had working capital credit
facilities with various financial institutions aggregating $35.1 million at
interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 2.5% to LIBOR plus 4%.  At February 24,
2001, $34.4 million was outstanding at interest rates ranging from 7.75% to
9.08%. The working capital facilities were replaced by the Thai Credit
Agreement entered into on March 29, 2001.  ACT Manufacturing Thailand also has a
loan outstanding denominated in Thai baht. At February 24, 2001, the outstanding
balance was baht 106.1 million ($2.5 million). The Thai baht loan requires
monthly principal payments of baht 4.6 million ($110,000) with the final payment
due July 2003. Interest on the Thai baht loan is payable monthly at a floating
rate that equaled 7.75% at February 24, 2001. The ACT Manufacturing Thailand
baht loan is secured by a pledge of ACT Manufacturing Thailand's fixed deposits
and by a mortgage of its land, buildings, machinery and equipment.

    On November 2, 2000, ACT Manufacturing France entered into a new Credit
Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Societe Generale.
The Credit Agreement provides that the lenders will make available to ACT
Manufacturing France up to approximately $15.4 million of revolving loans. The
Credit Agreement is unsecured and interest is payable monthly at an interest
rate based on the rates in the Eurocurrency market.  As of March 31, 2001, the
outstanding balance was approximately $13.9 million and was at an interest rate
of 4.7%.  The same credit agreement provides ACT Manufacturing France with a
credit line in the amount of approximately $9.3 million for sales of accounts
receivable, none of which was outstanding at March 31, 2001.  In addition, ACT
Manufacturing France has a capital lease line of approximately $7.0 million, of
which approximately $2.8 million was utilized at March 31, 2001.


3.  CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES ISSUANCE

    In April and May 2000, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$95.4 million from the sale of 7% Convertible Subordinated Notes due April 15,
2007 (the "Notes") in a private placement. The Notes are general unsecured
obligations of the Company and are subordinated in right of payment to all the
Company's existing and future senior indebtedness. Interest payments are due on
the Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The proceeds of this
convertible debt offering were used to fund the acquisition of ACT Manufacturing
Thailand which occurred in August 2000.  Prior to the acquisition, the net
proceeds from this offering were invested in short-term, interest-bearing,
investment grade securities. The Notes were subsequently registered on a
Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-41406, effective August 4,
2000.

The carrying value of inventory approximates replacement cost.

5.  NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

    Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the
potential dilution as if common equivalent shares outstanding (common stock
options and the exchange of convertible notes for common stock) were exercised
and/or converted into common stock unless the effect of such equivalent shares
was antidilutive.

    A reconciliation of net income per common share and the weighted average
shares used in the earnings per share ("EPS") calculations for the periods
indicated is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

                                                     Weighted

    For the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, the assumed conversion of
the convertible subordinated notes into 2,330,460 shares of common stock was
excluded from the computation of diluted EPS, as its inclusion would have been
antidilutive. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, options to
purchase 1,307,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at the end of the
period, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, because the
exercise prices on these options were greater than the average market price of
the common stock, and therefore, their effect would be antidilutive. For the
three-month period ended March 31, 2000, all outstanding options were included
in the computation of diluted EPS.

7.  SEGMENT REPORTING

    Management operates the Company in two segments, North America and
International.  The chief decision maker regularly evaluates the operations
management team on their ability to generate sales and gross profit in these two
segments.  Selling, general and administration functions are administered on a
global basis and these expenses are currently recorded where disbursed.  As
such, the Company does not currently allocate these expenses across its two
segments.

8.  RECENTLY ADOPTED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," (SFAS No. 133), subsequently
amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138.  SFAS No. 133 requires the Company to
record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  To the extent that
the hedge is effective, changes in derivative fair values will either be
recognized in earnings as offsets to the changes in fair value of related hedged
assets, liabilities and unrecognized firmly committed transactions (fair value
hedging relationships), or for forecasted transactions, deferred and recorded as
a component of other accumulated comprehensive income until the hedged
transactions occur and are recognized in earnings (cash flow hedging
relationships).  There may be an impact on earnings to the extent that the
hedging relationship is not 100% effective.  If hedges do not qualify for hedge
accounting under SFAS No. 133 or if the Company elects not to designate a
derivative as a hedge under SFAS No. 133, then the derivative fair value changes
are recognized directly in earnings.

    The Company's France subsidiary uses derivative financial instruments to
hedge certain non-functional currency-denominated assets and liabilities that
are primarily short-term trade accounts payable and receivable balances.
Derivative financial instruments are also used to hedge unrecognized but firmly
committed foreign-currency-denominated revenues and expenses. In all cases, the
maturities of hedging instruments does not usually exceed three to four months.
These instruments may involve elements of credit and market risk in excess of
the amounts recognized in the financial statements. The Company monitors its
positions and the credit quality of counterparties, consisting primarily of
major financial institutions, and does not anticipate nonperformance by any
counterparty.

    The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 and the corresponding amendments under SFAS
No. 138 on January 1, 2001, as required.  Adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1,
2001 resulted in a cumulative unrealized gain recorded to Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") of $3.2 million.  As of March 31, 2001, the
Company recorded an unrealized loss of $1.4 million to AOCI in the balance
sheet.

  NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(continued)

    In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."  SFAS No.
140 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of
financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities.  Under SFAS No. 140, after
a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing
assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial
assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when
extinguished.  SFAS No. 140 also provides standards for distinguishing transfers
of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.
SFAS No. 140 is effective for certain transactions occurring after March 31,
2001 and certain disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2001.  The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 140 on its financial statements
and related disclosures, but as of March 31, 2001, does not expect that any
impact would be material.


9.  CONTINGENCIES

    In December 1993, CMC Industries retained the services of a consultant to
assist in quantifying the potential exposure to CMC in connection with clean-up
and related costs of a former manufacturing site. This site is commonly known as
the ITT Telecommunications site in Milan, Tennessee. The consultant initially
estimated that the cost to remove and dispose of the contaminated soil would be
approximately $200,000. CMC subsequently entered into a voluntary agreement to
investigate the site with the Tennessee Department of Environment and
Conservation. In addition, CMC agreed to reimburse a tenant of the site $115,000
for expenditures previously incurred to investigate environmental conditions at
the site. Environmental studies done in 1999 have estimated assessment and
remediation costs at between $750,000 and $3.5 million.  CMC has not been named
as a potentially responsible party. However, Alcatel, Inc., a potentially
responsible party named by the State of Tennessee's Department of Environment
and Conservation, sought indemnification from CMC under the purchase agreement
by which CMC acquired the stock of one of the operators of the facility. To
date, Alcatel has not filed any legal proceedings to enforce its indemnification
claim. However, Alcatel could initiate such proceedings and other third parties
could assert claims against the Company relating to remediation of the site. The
Company has entered into an agreement with Alcatel pursuant to which the statute
of limitations on its indemnification claim is tolled for a period of time. In
the event any proceedings are initiated or any claims made, the Company would
defend itself vigorously but defense or resolution of this matter could have a
negative impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

    From time to time, the Company is also subject to claims or litigation
incidental to its business. The Company does not believe that any incidental
claims or litigation will have a material adverse effect on its results of
operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

    This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the following discussions,
contains trend analysis and other forward-looking statements within the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any
statements in this Quarterly Report that are not statements of historical facts
are forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking
statements as a result of the factors set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, including under "Cautionary Statements." You should read
the following discussion and analysis together with our condensed consolidated
financial statements for the periods specified and the related notes included
herein. Further reference should be made to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ended December 31, 2000.

The term "quarter" refers to the three-month period ending March 31 of the
respective year.

OVERVIEW

    We are a leading global provider of value-added electronics manufacturing
services to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") in the networking and
telecommunications, high-end computer and industrial and medical equipment
markets. We provide OEMs with total system assembly and integration, electro-
mechanical subassembly, complex printed circuit board assembly, primarily
utilizing advanced surface mount technology, and mechanical and molded cable and
harness assembly. We target and have developed a particular expertise in serving
both established and emerging OEMs who require moderate volume production runs
of complex, leading-edge commercial market applications. These applications are
generally characterized by multiple configurations and high printed circuit
board densities. As a result, they generally require technologically-advanced
and flexible manufacturing processes as well as a high degree of other value-
added services. As an integral part of our offerings to customers, we provide
the following value-added services: new product introduction services, advanced
manufacturing and test engineering, flexible materials management, comprehensive
test services, product diagnostics and repair, packaging, order fulfillment and
distribution services.

    Several customers have recently indicated the possibility of an economic
downturn in their industries, including the networking and telecommunications
market. Since customers in the networking and telecommunications segment of the
electronics industry represent a large portion of our net sales, developments
adverse to this segment of the industry could materially and negatively impact
us. A recessionary period or other event leading to excess capacity affecting
one or more segments of the electronics industry we serve would likely result in
intensified price competition, reduced margins and a decrease in our net sales.

    We currently manufacture at eleven facilities having an aggregate of
approximately 1.5 million square feet. Of our leased manufacturing facilities,
four of the facilities are located in Massachusetts and one facility is located
in each of Santa Clara, California; Lawrenceville, Georgia; Corinth,
Mississippi; and Dublin, Ireland. We also own a 4.4-acre tract of land and a
110,000 square foot manufacturing facility on that property in Hermosillo,
Mexico, a 240,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Thailand and an
approximately 230,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Angers, France. All
of our manufacturing facilities have been certified to the ISO 9002
international quality standard, except our Corinth, Mississippi facility which
has been certified to the ISO 9001 international quality standard and the TL
9000 international quality standard in the telecommunications industry. We have
signed a lease for a new 200,000 square foot facility in San Jose, California
that is under construction. We plan to move our existing Santa Clara operations
and equipment to this new facility. We expect to begin operating in this new
facility later in fiscal 2001. We have signed a lease for an additional 130,000
square foot building that is under construction and is adjacent to our facility
in Hermosillo, Mexico. We have also signed a lease for a 100,000 square foot new
products introduction, prototype and manufacturing facility in Dallas, Texas. We
expect to begin operating in both new facilities later in fiscal 2001. Our
facilities contained 109 surface mount technology lines ("SMT lines") at
March 31, 2001.

    We recognize revenue upon shipment to customers or otherwise, under certain
contracts, when title to and reward of ownership pass to the customer. We
generally do not obtain long-term purchase orders or commitments from our
customers. Instead, we work closely with our customers to anticipate delivery
dates and future volume of orders based on customer forecasts. The level and
timing of orders placed by our customers vary due to:

 .  customer attempts to manage inventory;
 .  changes in the customer's manufacturing strategy; and
 .  variation in demand for customer products due to, among other things,
   introduction of new products, product life cycles, competitive conditions or
   industry or general economic conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND 2000

    Our net sales increased $216.2 million or 94.4% to $445.3 million for the
first quarter of 2001 compared with $229.1 million for the first quarter of
2000. The increase was attributable principally to a net expansion of $48.9
million in our pre-existing operations, primarily in North America, the
inclusion of ACT Manufacturing France net sales of $102.0 million and the
inclusion of ACT Manufacturing Thailand net sales of $65.3 million, each of
which was acquired in August 2000.

    Gross profit increased $12.6 million or 62.8% to $32.6 million for the first
quarter of 2001 compared with $20.0 million for the first quarter of 2000. Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales ("gross margin") decreased to 7.3% for the
first quarter of 2001 from 8.7% for the first quarter of 2000. Our gross profit
increase was primarily attributable to the growth in our overall sales volume.
The decrease in the gross margin is primarily attributable to the shipment of a
greater percentage of lower margin products and parts to customers in order to
reduce inventory levels and a decrease in our overall capacity utilization rate.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2001, approximately $25.0 million in parts were
shipped to customers at a minimal gross margin. Without these shipments, the
gross margin for the first quarter of 2001 would have approximated 7.7%. There
were no such parts shipments in the first quarter of the prior year.

    Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $5.0 million
or 54.6% to $14.0 million, or 3.2% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2001
compared with $9.1 million, or 4.0% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2000.
SG&A expenses increased in absolute dollars due to the inclusion of expenses of
ACT Manufacturing France and ACT Manufacturing Thailand and the additional
spending in corporate infrastructure to support our global operations.  SG&A
expenses as a percentage of net sales, however, decreased due to the fact that
ACT Manufacturing France and ACT Manufacturing Thailand had lower SG&A expenses
as a percentage of net sales than our North American operations. SG&A expenses
as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2001, excluding the impact
of ACT Manufacturing France and ACT Manufacturing Thailand, was approximately
3.9%. We expect to continue additional spending for corporate infrastructure to
support our expanded operations over the next several quarters.

    Amortization of goodwill increased $3.5 million to $3.7 million for the
first quarter of 2001 compared to $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2000.
The increase is due to the additional goodwill amortization resulting from the
purchases of ACT Manufacturing France and ACT Manufacturing Thailand.

    Operating income increased $4.1 million to $14.8 million, or 3.3% of net
sales, for the first quarter of 2001 compared with operating income of $10.7
million, or 4.7% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2000 as a result of the
above factors.

    Interest and other expense, net increased $7.4 million to $8.0 million for
the first quarter of 2001 compared to $0.6 million for the first quarter of
2000. This increase is primarily attributable to higher working capital
requirements resulting in a higher average revolving loan balance for the first
quarter of 2001. Interest expense on the revolving credit facility amounted to
$3.1 million for the first quarter of 2001 compared to $1.5 million for the
first quarter of 2000. Also included in interest and other expense, net for the
first quarter of 2001 is $1.8 million of interest expense incurred on our 7%
convertible subordinated notes, $2.1 million of interest incurred on our $94.0
million term loan, $1.0 million of interest on the Thai debt and $0.5 million of
amortization of deferred financing costs.

                   ACT MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

    We recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.0 million and $3.9 million
for the first quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively. In the first quarter of
2001, we provided for income taxes using a 30.0% effective tax rate. In the
first quarter of 2000, we provided for income taxes using a 39.0% effective tax
rate. The difference in rates is primarily attributable to the inclusion in the
first quarter of 2001 of the income of ACT Manufacturing Thailand, which is not
subject to the Thai income tax. In Thailand, we currently operate under a "tax
holiday" that will expire in 2002 unless it is renewed. Upon the expiration of
the "tax holiday" we will become subject to taxation at a rate of 30% per annum
in Thailand. The rate at which income taxes will be provided in future periods
will depend on taxable income by tax jurisdiction.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    We had working capital of $333.7 million at March 31, 2001 compared with
$350.9 million at December 31, 2000. Operating activities generated $3.8 million
of cash in the first quarter of 2001 compared with cash used for operations of
$48.7 million in the first quarter of 2000. The primary use of cash for
operating activities for the first quarter of 2001 was a decrease in accounts
payable.  Accounts payable decreased $55.6 million to $281.8 million at March
31, 2001 from $337.4 million at December 31, 2000, primarily due to lower levels
of component purchasing.

    These cash uses were offset by net income generated from operations in the
first quarter of 2001 of $4.8 million and by decreases in inventory and accounts
receivable.  Inventory decreased $28.8 million to $372.5 million at March 31,
2001 from $401.3 million at December 31, 2000, which is primarily the result of
improving supply chain conditions in the electronics component market.  Accounts
receivable decreased $31.3 million to $324.0 million at March 31, 2001 from
$355.3 million at December 31, 2000, which is primarily due to the lower net
sales in the first quarter of 2001 compared with the fourth quarter of 2000.

    In the second fiscal quarter of 2000, a major customer advanced us $50.0
million to strengthen our materials procurement capabilities and enhance the
services we provide to this customer.  This advance is unsecured and non-
interest bearing.  The advance was repaid in April 2001 primarily through the
offset of invoices.

    On March 29, 2001, ACT Manufacturing Thailand entered into a new Credit
Agreement ("Thai Credit Agreement") with Thai Farmers Bank Public Company
Limited and Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited.  The Thai Credit Agreement
provides that the lenders will make available to ACT Manufacturing Thailand up
to approximately $53.5 million in revolving loans, term loans and machinery
loans for a term of five years.  The Thai Credit Agreement is secured by land,
buildings and machinery, and the guarantee of ACT Manufacturing, Inc.  In
addition, the Thai Credit Agreement provides for approximately $1.3 million
(60.0 million Thai baht) in working capital availability.  Borrowings will bear
interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%.

    On June 29, 2000, we revised our senior credit arrangements with a syndicate
of financial institutions led by The Chase Manhattan Bank, as administrative
agent, to increase our previous credit facilities.  Our Credit Agreement with
these lenders is secured by substantially all of our assets, and certain of our
subsidiaries' assets.  The Credit Agreement provides that the lenders will make
available to us up to $150.0 million of revolving loans (up to $20.0 million of
which we may use in a variety of currencies, and the balance of which we may use
in U.S. dollars) and up to $100.0 million of term loans. We borrowed $75.0
million of the term loan on August 31, 2000 to fund a portion of the purchase
price of ACT Manufacturing France. We borrowed the remaining $25.0 million of
the term loan on December 27, 2000 to refinance a portion of the debt of ACT
Manufacturing Thailand.

    On December 27, 2000, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement
which makes available additional five year term loans (the "Additional Term
Loans") in the aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, subject to certain
conditions. We are required to draw on the Additional Term Loans no later than
May 18, 2001. We are required to repay substantially all of the principal amount
on all outstanding Additional Term Loans by June 28, 2006.

    At March 31, 2001, $122.0 million of the Credit Agreement was utilized for
revolving loans, $1.7 million was utilized for letters of credit and an
additional $26.3 million was available for use based upon the applicable
borrowing base.  At March 31, 2001, $100.0 million of the outstanding revolving
loans were at an interest rate of 7.56% and the remaining $22.0 million were at
an interest rate of 9.5%.  At March 31, 2001, $94.0 million was outstanding on
the term loan at an interest rate of 7.59%.

                   ACT MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

    In April and May 2000, we received net proceeds of approximately $95.4
million from the sale of 7% convertible subordinated notes due April 15, 2007 in
a private placement. A shelf registration statement was subsequently filed in
connection with these convertible subordinated notes. Interest payments are due
on these convertible subordinated notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
The majority of the proceeds of this convertible debt offering were used to fund
the acquisition of ACT Manufacturing Thailand. Prior to the acquisition, the net
proceeds of this offering were invested in short-term, interest-bearing,
investment grade securities. We recorded approximately $1.8 million in interest
expense incurred on the notes in the first quarter of 2001.

    On August 2, 2000, we purchased 99.02% of the issued shares and outstanding
options of GSS Thailand for approximately $86.7 million.  At February 24, 2001,
ACT Manufacturing Thailand had working capital credit facilities with various
financial institutions aggregating $35.1 million at interest rates ranging from
LIBOR plus 2.5% to LIBOR plus 4%.  At February 24, 2001, $34.4 million was
outstanding at interest rates ranging from 7.75% to 9.08%.  The ACT
Manufacturing Thailand working capital facilities were replaced by the Thai
Credit Agreement entered into on March 29, 2001.  ACT Manufacturing Thailand
also has a loan outstanding denominated in Thai baht. At February 24, 2001, the
outstanding balance was baht 106.1 million ($2.5 million). The Thai baht loan
requires monthly principal payments of baht 4.6 million ($110,000) with the
final payment due July 2003. Interest on the Thai baht loan is payable monthly
at a floating rate that equaled 7.75% at February 24, 2001.  The ACT
Manufacturing Thailand baht loan is secured by a pledge of ACT Manufacturing
Thailand's fixed deposits and by a mortgage of its land, buildings, machinery
and equipment.

    On August 31, 2000, we purchased all of the issued shares of BEA for a
purchase price of approximately $99.8 million, of which $8.7 million was paid in
the first quarter of 2001.

    On November 2, 2000, ACT Manufacturing France entered into a new credit
agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Societe Generale.
The credit agreement provides that the lenders will make available to ACT
Manufacturing France up to approximately $15.4 million of revolving loans.  The
credit agreement is unsecured and interest is payable monthly at an interest
rate based on the rates in the Eurocurrency market.  As of March 31, 2001, the
outstanding balance was approximately $13.9 million and was at an interest rate
of 4.7%.  The same credit agreement provides ACT Manufacturing France with a
credit line in the amount of approximately $9.3 million for sales of accounts
receivable, none of which was outstanding at March 31, 2001.  In addition, ACT
Manufacturing France has a capital lease line of approximately $7.0 million, of
which approximately $2.8 million was utilized at March 31, 2001.

    We sold 575,000 shares of common stock of eOn Communications (formerly
Cortelco Systems), a related party, for net proceeds of approximately $6.4
million in the first quarter of 2000. We recognized a gain on the sale of the
eOn investment of approximately $0.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2000.

    Capital expenditures of approximately $2.8 million in the first quarter of
2001 were primarily for the acquisition of equipment and leasehold improvements
related to operations.

    We lease manufacturing facilities and certain equipment and computer
software used in our manufacturing operations under capital and operating lease
agreements that expire through 2011. As of March 31, 2001, we had equipment
lease lines of approximately $25.3 million available under capital and operating
leases for purchases of manufacturing equipment, computer hardware and software
and furniture.

    ACT Manufacturing France uses derivative financial instruments to hedge
certain non-functional currency-denominated assets and liabilities that are
primarily short-term trade accounts payable and receivable balances.  Derivative
financial instruments are also used to hedge unrecognized but firmly committed
foreign-currency-denominated revenues and expenses.  In all cases, the
maturities of hedging instruments do not usually exceed three to four months.
These instruments may involve elements of credit and market risk in excess of
the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.  We monitor our
positions and the credit quality of counterparties, consisting primarily of
major financial institutions, and do not anticipate nonperformance by any
counterparty. At March 31, 2001, the carrying amounts of these contracts
exceeded their fair value by approximately $1.4 million. In accordance with SFAS
No. 133, this amount has been recorded to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
in the balance sheet.

                   ACT MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

    Our need for, cost of and access to funds are dependent in the long-term on
our future operating results as well as conditions external to us. We may
require additional capital to finance further acquisitions or other enhancements
to, or expansions of, our manufacturing capacity as well as to finance working
capital requirements. Although no assurance can be given that any additional
financing will be available on terms satisfactory to us, we may seek additional
funds from time to time through public or private debt or equity offerings, or
through further bank borrowings or through equipment lease financings.



RECENTLY ADOPTED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAF") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," (SFAS No. 133), subsequently
amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138.  SFAS No. 133 requires us to record
all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  To the extent that the
hedge is effective, changes in derivative fair values will either be recognized
in earnings as offsets to the changes in fair value of related hedged assets,
liabilities and unrecognized firmly committed transactions (fair value hedging
relationships), or for forecasted transactions, deferred and recorded as a
component of other accumulated comprehensive income until the hedged
transactions occur and are recognized in earnings (cash flow hedging
relationships).  There may be an impact on earnings to the extent that the
hedging relationship is not 100% effective.  If hedges do not qualify for hedge
accounting under SFAS No. 133 or if we elect not to designate a derivative as a
hedge under SFAS No. 133, then the derivative fair value changes are recognized
directly in earnings.

    We adopted SFAS No. 133 and the corresponding amendments under SFAS
No. 138 on January 1, 2001, as required. Adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1,
2001 resulted in a cumulative unrealized gain recorded to Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") of $3.2 million. As of March 31, 2001, we recorded
an unrealized loss of $1.4 million to AOCI in the balance sheet.

    In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No.
140 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of
financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. Under SFAS No. 140, after a
transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing
assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial
assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when
extinguished. SFAS No. 140 also provides standards for distinguishing transfers
of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.
SFAS No. 140 is effective for certain transactions occurring after March 31,
2001 and certain disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2001. We are
currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 140 on our financial statements and
related disclosures, but as of March 31, 2001, do not expect that any impact
would be material.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

    The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") contains
certain safe harbors regarding forward-looking statements. From time to time,
information we provide or statements made by our employees may contain forward-
looking information. Any statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that
are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. In some
cases you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as
"anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may,"
"should," "will," and "would" or other similar words. You should read statements
that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations,
contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial
position or state other forward-looking information. The following cautionary
statements should be considered carefully in evaluating our business. The
factors discussed in these cautionary statements, among other factors, provide
examples of risks, uncertainties and events that could cause our actual results
to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements made
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and presented elsewhere by management from
time to time. These cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the
provisions of the Act and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the
safe harbor provisions of the Act.


                        RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS

OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER IF THE NETWORKING AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS SEGMENTS OF THE
ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY FAIL TO GROW AND EVOLVE.

    Our customer base has historically been concentrated in a limited number of
segments within the electronics industry. Net sales to customers within the
networking and telecommunications segments accounted for approximately 60% of
our net sales in the first quarter of 2001, 69% in fiscal 2000, and 66% in
fiscal 1999.  Several customers have indicated the possibility of an economic
downturn in their industries, including the networking and telecommunications
market. Developments adverse to these industry segments could materially and
negatively impact us. These industry segments, and the electronics industry as a
whole, experience:

    .  intense competition;
    .  rapid technological changes resulting in short product life cycles and
    .  consequent product obsolescence;
    .  significant fluctuations in product demand;
    .  economic cycles, including recessionary periods; and
    .  consolidation.

    A recessionary period or other event leading to excess capacity affecting
one or more segments of the electronics industry we serve would likely result in
intensified price competition, reduced margins and a decrease in our net sales.


THE LOSS OF MAJOR CUSTOMERS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US.

    We depend on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our
business. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 54% and 57% of
our net sales for the first quarter of 2001 and for fiscal 2000, respectively.

    For the first quarter of 2001, EMC and Efficient Networks accounted for 21%
and 12% of our net sales, respectively. For fiscal 2000, Efficient Networks, EMC
and Nortel Networks accounted for approximately 17%, 14% and 12%, respectively,
of our net sales.  For fiscal 1999, Nortel Networks and S-3 Incorporated
(formerly Diamond Multimedia) accounted for approximately 15% and 13%,
respectively, of our net sales.  The timing and level of orders from our
customers varies substantially from period to period. The historic level of net
sales we have received from a specific customer in one particular period is not
necessarily indicative of net sales we may receive from that customer in any
future period.

    Our results may depend on our ability to diversify our customer base and
reduce our reliance on particular customers. Our major customers may not
continue to purchase products and services from us at current levels or at all.
In particular, we terminated our business with S-3 Incorporated in March 2000,
and we terminated our business with Ascend, which was acquired by Lucent
Technologies, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. For various reasons,
including consolidation in our customers' industries, we have in the past and
will continue in the future to terminate or lose relationships with customers.
We may not be able to expand our customer base to make up any sales shortfalls
from our major customers so as to increase overall net sales. Because certain
customers represent such a large part of our business, any of the following
could negatively impact our business:

                                       17
<PAGE>

                   ACT MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

    .  the loss of one or more major customer;
    .  a significant reduction or delay in purchases from any major customer;
    .  discontinuance by any major customer of the sale of products we
       manufacture;
    .  a reduction in demand for the products of major customers that we
    .  manufacture; or
    .  the inability or unwillingness of a major customer to pay for products
       and services on a timely basis or at all.

OUR CUSTOMERS DO NOT ENTER INTO LONG-TERM PURCHASE ORDERS OR COMMITMENTS, AND
CANCELLATIONS, REDUCTIONS OR DELAYS IN CUSTOMER ORDERS WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT
OUR PROFITABILITY.

  The level and timing of orders placed by our customers vary due to:

    .  customer attempts to manage inventory;
    .  changes in the customers' manufacturing strategy, such as a decision by a
       customer to either diversify or consolidate the number of EMS providers
       used or to manufacture their products internally;
    .  variation in demand for customer products; and
    .  cyclical downturns in customers' industries.

    We generally do not obtain long-term purchase orders or commitments from our
customers. Instead, we work closely with our customers to anticipate delivery
dates and future volume of orders based on customer forecasts. We rely on our
estimates of anticipated future volumes when making commitments regarding:

    .  the levels of business that we will seek and accept;
    .  the timing of production schedules;
    .  the purchase of materials;
    .  the purchase or leasing of facilities and equipment; and
    .  the levels and utilization of personnel and other resources.

     Customers may cancel, reduce or delay orders that were either previously
made or anticipated for a variety of reasons. Significant or numerous
terminations, reductions or delays in our customers' orders could negatively
impact our operating results. A customer's unwillingness or inability to
reimburse us for materials costs in the case of a significant variance from
forecast could adversely affect our operating results.


INCREASED COMPETITION MAY RESULT IN DECREASED DEMAND OR PRICES FOR OUR SERVICES.

    The EMS industry is highly competitive. We compete against numerous EMS
providers with global operations, as well as those who operate on a local or
regional basis. In addition, current and prospective customers continually
evaluate the merits of manufacturing products internally. Consolidation in the
EMS industry results in a continually changing competitive landscape. The
consolidation trend in the industry also results in larger and more
geographically diverse competitors who have significant combined resources with
which to compete against us. Some of our competitors have substantially greater
managerial, manufacturing, engineering, technical, financial, systems, sales and
marketing resources than we do. These competitors may:

    .  respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies;
    .  have greater name recognition, critical mass and geographic and market
       presence;
    .  be better able to take advantage of acquisition opportunities;
    .  adapt more quickly to changes in customer requirements; and
    .  devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their
       services.

    We may be operating at a cost disadvantage compared to manufacturers who
have greater direct buying power from component suppliers, distributors and raw
material suppliers or who have lower cost structures. Our manufacturing
processes are generally not subject to significant proprietary protection, and
companies with greater resources or a greater geographic and market presence may
enter our market or increase their competition with us. Increased competition
from existing or potential competitors could result in price reductions, reduced
margins or loss of market share.

                                       18
<PAGE>

                   ACT MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN RAW MATERIALS OR COMPONENTS FOR OUR ASSEMBLIES ON A
TIMELY BASIS OR AT ALL.

    We rely on a single or limited number of third-party suppliers for many
proprietary and other components used in the assembly process.  We do not have
any long-term supply agreements.  Shortages of materials and components have
occurred from time to time and will likely occur in the future.  Raw materials
or component shortages can result in shipping delays and increased prices that
could adversely affect our ability to manufacture products for our customers on
a timely basis or at acceptable cost.  Moreover, the consolidation trend in our
suppliers' industry results in changes in supply relationships and in the price,
availability and quality of components and raw materials.  Due to our
utilization of just-in-time inventory techniques, the timely availability of
many components is dependent on our ability to both develop accurate forecasts
of customer requirements and manage the materials supply chain.  If we fail to
do either, our operating results may suffer.


OPERATING IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES EXPOSES US TO INCREASED RISKS.

    We have operations in France, Ireland, Mexico and Thailand and procurement
offices in Taiwan and Singapore. We expect to expand into other international
regions. We have limited experience in managing geographically dispersed
operations and in operating in Europe, Mexico or Asia. We also purchase a
significant number of components manufactured in foreign countries. Because of
the scope of our international operations, we are subject to the following
risks, which could materially impact our results of operations:

    .  economic or political instability;
    .  transportation delays and interruptions;
    .  foreign exchange rate fluctuations;
    .  increased employee turnover and labor unrest;
    .  longer payment cycles;
    .  greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable;
    .  utilization of different systems and equipment;
    .  difficulties in staffing and managing foreign personnel and diverse
       cultures; and
    .  less developed infrastructures.

    In addition, changes in policies by the U.S. or foreign governments could
negatively affect our operating results due to:

    .  increased regulatory requirements;
    .  higher taxation;
    .  currency conversion limitations;
    .  restrictions on the transfer of funds;
    .  the imposition of or increase in tariffs and duties; or
    .  limitations on imports or exports.

Also, we could be adversely affected if our host countries revise their current
policies encouraging foreign investment or foreign trade.  In Thailand, we
currently operate under a "tax holiday" that will expire in 2002 unless it is
renewed.  Upon the expiration of the "tax holiday," we will become subject to
taxation at a rate of 30% per annum in Thailand.


    OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER IF WE LOSE THE SERVICES OF, OR FAIL TO ATTRACT,
KEY PERSONNEL.

    Our future success largely depends upon the skills and efforts of John A.
Pino, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, our other
key executives and our managerial, manufacturing, sales and technical employees.
With the exception of Jack O'Rear, Executive Vice President of Operations for
the Americas, Robert E. Zinn, Executive Vice President of European and Asian
Pacific Operations and James Menges, Senior Vice President of Operations for
Asia, we have not entered into employment contracts or noncompetition agreements
with any of our senior management or other key employees. We do not maintain or
plan to acquire any key-man life insurance on any of our key personnel. The loss
of services of any of our executives or other key personnel could negatively
affect our business.  We are currently searching for a chief financial officer.
Our continued growth will also require us to attract, motivate, train and retain
additional skilled and experienced managerial, manufacturing, financial, sales
and technical personnel. We face intense competition for such personnel. We may
not be able to attract, motivate and retain personnel with the skills and
experience needed to successfully manage our business and operations.

                   ACT MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN OUR TECHNOLOGICAL AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS
EXPERTISE.

    The markets for our manufacturing services are characterized by rapidly
changing technology and evolving process development. The continued success of
our business will depend upon our ability to:

    .  maintain and enhance our technological capabilities;
    .  develop and market manufacturing services which meet changing customer
       needs; and
    .  successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes in
       manufacturing processes on a cost-effective and timely basis.

    Although we believe that our operations utilize the assembly and testing
technologies, equipment and processes currently required by our customers, we
cannot be certain that we will develop capabilities required by our customers in
the future. Also, the emergence of new technologies, industry standards or
customer requirements may render our equipment, inventory or processes obsolete
or noncompetitive. In addition, we may have to acquire new assembly and testing
technologies and equipment to remain competitive. The acquisition and
implementation of new technologies and equipment may require significant expense
or capital investment. Our failure to anticipate and adapt to our customers'
changing technological needs and requirements would have an adverse effect on
our business.

WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT LIABILITIES IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH ENVIRONMENTAL
REGULATIONS.

    We are subject to environmental regulations relating to the use, storage,
discharge, site cleanup, and disposal of hazardous chemicals used in our
manufacturing processes. If we fail to comply with present and future
regulations, or are required to perform site remediation, we could be subject to
future liabilities or the suspension of production. Present and future
regulations may also:

    .  restrict our ability to expand our facilities;
    .  require us to acquire costly equipment; or
    .  require us to incur other significant costs and expenses.

PRODUCTS WE MANUFACTURE MAY CONTAIN DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECTS THAT COULD
RESULT IN REDUCED DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES AND LIABILITY CLAIMS AGAINST US.

    We manufacture products to our customers' specifications that are highly
complex and may at times contain design or manufacturing errors or failures.
Defects have been discovered in products we manufactured in the past and,
despite our quality control and quality assurance efforts, defects may occur in
the future. Defects in the products we manufacture, whether caused by a design,
manufacturing or component failure or error, may result in delayed shipments to
customers or reduced or cancelled customer orders. If these defects occur in
large quantities or too frequently, our business reputation may also be
impaired. In addition, these defects may result in liability claims against us.

WE ANTICIPATE THAT OUR NET SALES AND OPERATING RESULTS WILL FLUCTUATE WHICH
COULD AFFECT OUR OPERATING RESULTS IN A GIVEN QUARTER.

    Our net sales and operating results have fluctuated and may continue to
fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. A substantial portion of our
net sales in a given quarter may depend on obtaining and fulfilling orders for
assemblies to be manufactured and shipped in the same quarter in which those
orders are received. Further, a significant portion of our net sales in a given
quarter may depend on assemblies configured, completed, packaged and shipped in
the final weeks of such quarter. In addition to the variability resulting from
the short-term nature of our customers' commitments, the following factors may
contribute to such fluctuations:

    .  fluctuations in aggregate demand for our services or the products we
       manufacture;
    .  shipment delays;
    .  interruptions in manufacturing caused by earthquakes or other natural
       disasters;
    .  effectiveness in controlling manufacturing costs;

                                       20
<PAGE>

                   ACT MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

    .  changes in cost and availability of labor and components;
    .  inefficiencies in managing inventory and accounts receivable, including
       inventory obsolescence and write-offs; and
    .  the levels at which we utilize our manufacturing capacity.

    Our operating expenses are based on anticipated revenue levels and a high
percentage of our operating expenses are relatively fixed in the short term. As
a result, any unanticipated shortfall in revenue in a quarter would likely
adversely affect our operating results for that quarter. Also, changes in our
product assembly mix may cause our margins to fluctuate that could negatively
impact our results of operations for that period. Results of operations in any
period should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any
future period.


WE MAY INCUR COSTS AND LIABILITIES RELATED TO POTENTIAL OR PENDING LITIGATION.

    In December 1993, CMC Industries retained the services of a consultant to
assist in quantifying the potential exposure to CMC in connection with clean-up
and related costs of a former manufacturing site. This site is commonly known as
the ITT Telecommunications site in Milan, Tennessee. The consultant initially
estimated that the cost to remove and dispose of the contaminated soil would be
approximately $200,000. CMC subsequently entered into a voluntary agreement to
investigate the site with the Tennessee Department of Environment and
Conservation. In addition, CMC agreed to reimburse a tenant of the site $115,000
for expenditures previously incurred to investigate environmental conditions at
the site. CMC recorded a total provision of $320,000 based on these estimates.
Environmental studies done in fiscal 1999 have estimated assessments and
remediation costs at between $750,000 and $3.5 million.  CMC has not been named
as a potentially responsible party. However, Alcatel, Inc., a potentially
responsible party named by the Tennessee Department of Environment and
Conservation, sought indemnification from CMC under the purchase agreement by
which CMC acquired the stock of one of the operators of the facility. To date,
Alcatel has not filed any legal proceedings to enforce its indemnification
claim. However, Alcatel could initiate such proceedings and other third parties
could assert claims against us relating to remediation of the site. We have
entered into an agreement with Alcatel pursuant to which the statute of
limitations on its indemnification claim is tolled for a period of time. In the
event any proceedings are initiated or any claim is made, we would defend
ourselves vigorously but defense or resolution of this matter could have a
negative impact our financial position and results of operations.


JOHN A. PINO HAS SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OVER OUR COMPANY.

  John A. Pino, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer,
and a number of trusts for his and his family's benefit, collectively
beneficially own approximately 30% of our common stock. As a result, Mr. Pino is
able to exert significant influence over us through his ability to influence the
election of directors and all other matters that require action by our
stockholders. The voting power of Mr. Pino and these trusts could have the
effect of preventing or delaying a change in control of our company which Mr.
Pino opposes.


          RISKS RELATED TO OUR RECENT ACQUISITIONS AND OUR EXPANSION

WE MAY NOT REALIZE THE EXPECTED BENEFITS FROM THE ACT MANUFACTURING THAILAND AND
ACT MANUFACTURING FRANCE ACQUISITIONS AND THEIR INTEGRATION WILL DIVERT
MANAGEMENT'S ATTENTION FROM OUR DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS.

    We completed the acquisitions of ACT Manufacturing Thailand and ACT
Manufacturing France with the expectation that the acquisitions will result in
certain benefits, including, without limitation:

    .  cost savings related to redundant activities;
    .  increased scale of operations and operating efficiencies;
    .  revenue enhancements as well as geographic and customer diversity;
    .  management and engineering enhancements; and
    .  other synergies.

                                       21
<PAGE>

                   ACT MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

    We may not realize any of the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions.
Integrating the acquired operations and personnel is a complex and difficult
process and achieving the benefits of the acquisitions will depend in large part
upon the successful integration of the acquired businesses in an efficient and
timely manner. The diversion of the attention of our management and any
difficulties and related costs encountered in the process of combining the
operations of ACT, ACT Manufacturing France and ACT Manufacturing Thailand,
could cause the disruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our activities.  The
inability to successfully integrate the operations and personnel of ACT
Manufacturing Thailand and ACT Manufacturing France, or any significant delay in
achieving integration, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

WE MAY FAIL TO MAKE ADDITIONAL ACQUISITIONS AND MAY NOT SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE
ACQUISITIONS WE DO MAKE, WHICH COULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE AND COULD
HARM OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

    In light of the consolidation trend in our industry, we intend to pursue
selective acquisitions of additional facilities, assets, businesses or
companies. We may compete for acquisition opportunities with entities having
significantly greater resources than us. As a result, we may not succeed in
acquiring some or all companies, facilities, assets or businesses that we seek
to acquire, including the Leicester, England manufacturing business of Fisher-
Rosemount Systems. Failure to consummate additional acquisitions may prevent us
from accumulating sufficient critical mass required by customers in this
consolidating industry. This failure could significantly impact our ability to
effectively compete in our targeted markets and could negatively affect our
results of operations.

    Moreover, acquisitions that we do complete may result in:

    .  the potentially dilutive issuance of common stock or other equity
       instruments;
    .  the incurrence of debt and amortization expenses related to goodwill and
       other intangible assets;
    .  the incurrence of significant costs and expenses; or
    .  the potentially dilutive impact on our earnings per share.

  Acquisition transactions also involve numerous business risks, including:

    .  difficulties in assimilating the acquired operations, technologies,
       personnel and products;
    .  difficulties in managing geographically dispersed and international
       operations;
    .  difficulties in assimilating diverse financial reporting and management
       information systems;
    .  the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns;
       the potential disruption of our business; and
    .  the potential loss of key employees, customers or suppliers.

OUR OPERATING RESULTS WILL DEPEND ON OUR ABILITY TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH.

    We have grown rapidly in recent years and we expect to continue to expand
our operations. This growth has placed, and will continue to place, significant
strain on our management, operations, technical, financial, systems, sales,
marketing and other resources. As our growth continues, we will have to review
and revise our security procedures and operating and financial controls both
domestically and internationally. We will have to continue to invest in both our
manufacturing infrastructure to expand capacity and our operational, financial,
and management information systems. We are currently in the process of
converting to a new global enterprise resource planning system, which we
currently plan to implement in all facilities, both domestic and international,
by the end of fiscal 2002. If we fail to adequately manage the conversion to the
new system, our operating results and financial condition could be harmed. In
addition, if we fail to manage our expected growth effectively, the quality of
our services and products and our operating results could suffer significantly.


EXPANSION OF OUR OPERATIONS MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS.

    We may expand our operations by establishing or acquiring new manufacturing
facilities or by expanding capacity in our current facilities. We may expand
both in geographical areas in which we currently operate and in new geographical
areas within

                                       22
<PAGE>

                   ACT MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

the United States and internationally. We acquired operations in France and
Thailand in August 2000, began operations in an additional facility in
Massachusetts in January 2000 and have signed a lease for a new facility in
California which is currently under construction and which will enable us to
consolidate and expand our operations. We expect to begin operations in this new
California facility in fiscal 2001. We have signed a lease for an additional
130,000 square foot building that is under construction and is adjacent to our
facility in Mexico. We have also signed a lease for a 100,000 square foot new
products introduction, prototype and manufacturing facility in Dallas, Texas. We
expect to begin operating in both new facilities in fiscal 2001. We may not be
able to find additional suitable facilities on a timely basis or on terms
satisfactory to us. Moreover, expansion of existing, and establishing new,
operations involves numerous business risks, including:

    .  the inability to successfully integrate additional facilities or capacity
       and to realize anticipated synergies, economies of scale or other value;
    .  difficulties in the timing of expansions and new facilities, including
       delays in the implementation of construction and manufacturing plans;
    .  the diversion of management's attention from other business areas during
       the planning and implementation of expansions and new facilities ;
    .  the strain placed on our operational, financial, management, technical
       and information systems and resources;
    .  disruption in manufacturing operations;
    .  the incurrence of significant costs and expenses; and
    .  the inability to locate enough customers or employees to support the
       expansion or new facility.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected if the revenues associated
with new or expanded facilities are not sufficient to offset the increased
expenditures associated with the new facility or the expansion.


WE MAY FAIL TO SECURE NECESSARY ADDITIONAL FINANCING.

    We have made and will continue to make substantial capital expenditures to
expand our operations and remain competitive in the rapidly changing EMS
industry. Our future success depends in part on our ability to obtain additional
financing and capital to support our continued growth and operations. We may
seek to raise capital by:

    .  issuing additional common stock or other equity instruments;
    .  issuing debt securities;
    .  obtaining additional lease financings;
    .  increasing our lines of credit; or
    .  obtaining off-balance sheet financing.

We may not be able to obtain additional capital when we want or need it, and
capital may not be available on satisfactory terms.  Furthermore, any additional
capital may have terms and conditions that adversely affect our business, such
as financial or operating covenants.

THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OUR INDEBTEDNESS AFTER THE ACQUISITIONS OF ACT
MANUFACTURING THAILAND AND ACT MANUFACTURING FRANCE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
FINANCIAL HEALTH.

    Our total senior debt as of March 31, 2001 was approximately $271.8 million.
As of March 31, 2001, we also had $100.0 million of convertible subordinated
notes outstanding. Our leverage could have important adverse consequences. For
example, it could:

    .  make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to
       the convertible subordinated notes or our other indebtedness;
    .  increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry
       conditions;
    .  limit our ability to fund future working capital, capital expenditures,
       acquisitions and other general corporate requirements;
    .  limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our
       business and industry; and
    .  limit our ability to borrow additional funds.

Any additional borrowings would further increase the amount of our leverage and
the associated risks.

                                       23
<PAGE>

                   ACT MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

WE WILL REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CASH TO SERVICE OUR INDEBTEDNESS.

    Our ability to service our indebtedness and to fund planned capital
expenditures, development and operating costs will depend on our ability to
generate cash in the future through sales of our services.  Our available
liquidity may not be sufficient to service our indebtedness, including the
convertible subordinated notes, or to fund our other cash needs.  We may need to
refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the convertible
subordinated notes, on or before maturity but we may not be able to do so on
satisfactory terms, or at all. Without sufficient funds to service our
indebtedness, we would have serious liquidity constraints and would need to seek
additional financing from other sources, which may not be available on
satisfactory terms.

THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN AND MAY CONTINUE TO BE VOLATILE.

    The trading price of our common stock has been and may continue to be
volatile. From January 1, 2000 through May 8, 2001, our stock price has
fluctuated between a low of $9.50 per share and a high of $72.25 per share. On
May 8, 2001, the closing price for our common stock was $17.03. The price of our
common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of events and
factors relating to our company, our competitors and the market for our
services, many of which are beyond our control, such as:

    .  quarterly variations in our operating results;
    .  announcements of new technological innovations, equipment or service
       offerings by us or our competitors;
    .  announcements of new products, or sales forecasts or results by our
       customers;
    .  changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities
       analysts; and
    .  news relating to trends in our markets.

    In addition, the stock market in general, and the market prices for
technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that
often has been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These
broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of
our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

    When the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock
have often instituted securities class action litigation against the company
that issued the stock. We have been the subject of such a lawsuit. If any of our
stockholders brought another securities class action lawsuit against us, we
could incur substantial additional costs defending that lawsuit. The lawsuit
could also divert the time and attention of our management and an adverse
judgment could cause our financial condition or operating results to suffer.

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR A THIRD PARTY TO ACQUIRE OUR COMPANY, AND THIS COULD
DEPRESS THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

    Massachusetts corporate law, our articles of organization and by-laws and
the indenture related to our convertible subordinated notes contain provisions
that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in
control of our company or our management. These provisions could discourage
proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to
elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions could also
limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares
of our common stock. These provisions:

    .  authorize the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock, which is
       preferred stock that can be created and issued by our board of directors
       without prior stockholder approval, with rights senior to those of common
       stock;
    .  provide for a staggered board of directors, so that it would take three
       successive annual meetings to replace all directors;
    .  require unanimity for stockholder action by written consent;
    .  establish advance notice requirements for submitting nominations for
       election to the board of directors and for proposing matters that can be
       acted upon by stockholders at a meeting; and
    .  provide for change of control payments.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    At March 31, 2001, we had $122.0 million of a $150.0 million revolving loan
outstanding that bears interest at variable interest rates. We also have a $94.0
million term loan with an interest rate based on either the Prime Rate or the
Eurocurrency Rate. The effective interest rate that the lenders will charge us
under the term loan will vary depending upon our financial condition. At
February 24, 2001, ACT Manufacturing Thailand had credit facilities,
substantially all of which were denominated in U.S. dollars, aggregating $35.1
million, which bore interest at variable rates. The ACT Manufacturing Thailand
working capital facilities were replaced by the Thai Credit Agreement entered
into on March 29, 2001, borrowings under which will bear interest at LIBOR plus
2.5%. ACT Manufacturing France also has an approximately $15.4 million revolving
credit facility which bears interest at variable rates based on the rates in the
Eurocurrency market. Our exposure related to adverse movements in interest rates
is primarily derived from the variable rate on our revolving and term loans and
other credit facilities. At March 31, 2001, $100.0 million of the outstanding
balance on the revolving loan was at an interest rate of 7.56% and the remaining
$22.0 million was at an interest rate of 9.5%. At March 31, 2001, the
outstanding balance under the term loan was $94.0 million, which was at an
interest rate of 7.59%. At February 24, 2001, $34.4 million was outstanding
under the ACT Manufacturing Thailand credit facilities at interest rates ranging
from 7.75% to 9.08%. The ACT Manufacturing Thailand working capital facilities
were replaced by the Thai Credit Agreement entered into on March 29, 2001. At
March 31, 2001, approximately $13.9 million was outstanding under the ACT
Manufacturing France credit facilities at an interest rate of 4.7%. An adverse
change of one percent in the interest rate would cause a change in interest
expense of approximately $2.7 million on an annual basis based on balances
outstanding at the end of the first quarter of 2001.

    Substantially all of the business of our Mexico and Thailand operations are
conducted in U.S. dollar denominated transactions. The functional currency of
ACT Manufacturing France is the French franc, although some of that business is
conducted in Euro and other currency denominated transactions.  The functional
currency of our operations in Ireland is the Irish punt, however, these
operations do not represent a significant portion of our net sales and expenses.
Expenses for our French and Irish operations are also paid in French francs and
Euros, and Irish punts, respectively.  Although the functional currency of our
foreign operations, other than France and Ireland, is the U.S. dollar, some of
the expenses of our Thailand and Mexico operations are denominated in Thai baht
and Mexican pesos, respectively.  We also operate international purchasing
offices in Singapore and Taiwan, where expenses are paid in Singapore and Taiwan
dollars, respectively.

    SFAS No. 107 requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments.
Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts and notes
receivable, accounts payable and certain other short-term liabilities, and
current and long-term debt obligations.  The fair value of these financial
instruments approximates their carrying amount, except for the 7% convertible
subordinated notes, at March 31, 2001.  The fair market value of the convertible
subordinated notes was $52.2 million with a carrying amount of $100.0 million at
March 31, 2001.

    ACT Manufacturing France uses foreign exchange and option contracts to hedge
certain foreign currency denominated inventory purchase commitments and firmly
committed foreign currency revenues. Contracts are for periods consistent with
the terms of the underlying transaction, generally one to four months. We
adopted SFAS No. 133 and the corresponding amendments under SFAS No. 138 on
January 1, 2001, as required. Adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001
resulted in a cumulative unrealized gain recorded to Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") of $3.2 million. As of March 31, 2001, we
recorded an unrealized loss of $1.4 million to AOCI in the balance sheet.

Tranche B Loan Advance the proposed Drawing Date (which shall be a Business Day
within the Availability Period), in which case each Tranche B Lender shall
participate in such Tranche B Loan Advance in the proportion which its Tranche B
Loan Commitment bears to the Total Tranche B Loan Commitments.

                                                                         Page 29

L/C Outstandings) and all Tranche B T/R Outstandings shall be converted
automatically into a Tranche B Loan Advance in accordance with clause 10.6

Borrower shall provide each of the relevant Tranche B Lenders with the following

     of Receipt) duly completed and signed by the Authorised Directors;

     accordance with its normal banking practice; and

(c)  any other supporting documents or information as reasonably requested by
     the relevant Tranche B Lender in accordance with its normal banking
     practice.

Upon each Conversion, the Tranche B L/C Outstandings and the Tranche B T/R
Outstandings which have been so converted shall be reduced to 0 (zero) and
treated for all purposes and to all intents as a Tranche B Loan Advance.

11.4 Limits on Tranche B Loan Advances:  No Tranche B Loan Advance may be drawn
or converted pursuant to clause 11.2 (Drawdown) or 11.3 (Conversion) under the
Tranche B Loan Facility if, as a result of such drawing or Conversion, the Total
Tranche B Loan Outstandings would exceed the Total Tranche B Loan Commitments or
would exceed the maximum amount made available during each of the relevant
periods set out in clause 8.2 (Amounts and Periods).

11.5 Interest Period:  The following provisions shall apply to the duration of
Interest Periods for Tranche B Loan Advances:

(a)  each Interest Period shall be 3 (three) calendar months;

(b)  the first Interest Period shall commence on the relevant Drawing Date or
     the relevant Conversion Date, as the case may be, of that Tranche B Loan
     Advance and end on the last day of the calendar quarter in which such
     Tranche Loan B Advance has been drawn or converted into and each successive
     Interest Period shall commence on the last day of the previous one;

(c)  subject to clause 11.5 (d), an Interest Period which would otherwise end on
     a day which is not a Business Day shall end on the next succeeding Business
     Day unless the result of such extension would be that such Interest Period

                                                                         Page 30
<PAGE>

     would end on a day in the next following calendar month, in which event
     such Interest Period shall end on the last preceding Business Day;

(d)  any Interest Period which would extend beyond a Repayment Date relating to
     a Tranche B Loan Advance shall be of such duration that it shall end on
     that Repayment Date; and

(e)  the Borrower and the Facility Agent, with the consent of all Tranche B
     Lenders, may enter into such arrangements as they may agree for the
     consolidation or splitting of Tranche B Loan Advances.

11.6 Rate and Payment:  The rate of interest payable on a Tranche B Loan Advance
for each Interest Period shall be the rate per annum determined by the Facility
Agent to be the aggregate of:

(a)  LIBOR; and

(b)  the Margin.

Interest payable under this clause 11.6 shall be calculated on the basis of
actual days elapsed (not counting within an Interest Period the last day of that
Interest Period) and a year of 360 (three hundred and sixty) days, or otherwise
as market convention dictates, and shall be paid on each Tranche B Loan Advance
by the Borrower to the Tranche B Lenders in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date in the currency applicable to that Tranche B Loan Advance.

                                                                         Page 42

                     PAYMENTS, TAXES AND DEFAULT INTEREST


Payment

19.1   Payments:  All payments under this Agreement shall be made as follows:

(a)    in the case of payments by the Borrower, directly to the account of the
       relevant Lender at such bank as it may notify to the Borrower; and

(b)    in the case of payments by a Lender, directly to the account of the
       Borrower at such bank as it may notify to the Lenders.

19.2   No Set-off or Counterclaim:  All payments made by the Borrower under this
Agreement shall be made without any set-off or counterclaim.

19.3   Date:  If any payment would otherwise be due on a day which is not a
Business Day, it shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day unless the
result of such an extension would be that such payment would be due on a day in
the following calendar month, in which event such payment shall be due on the
last preceding Business Day.

19.4   Judgment Currency: If, under any applicable Law, whether as a result of a
judgment against the Borrower or the liquidation of the Borrower or for any
other reason, any payment under or in connection with this Agreement is made or
is recovered in a currency (the other currency) other than that it is required
to be paid hereunder (the original currency), then, to the extent that the
payment to any Finance Party (when converted at the rate of exchange on the date
of payment or, in the case of a liquidation, the latest date for the
determination of liabilities permitted by the applicable Law) falls short of the
amount unpaid under this Agreement, the Borrower shall, as a separate and
independent obligation, fully indemnify that Finance Party against the amount of
the shortfall.

Taxes

20.1   Withholdings:  All payments by the Borrower under this Agreement, whether
in respect of principal, interest, fees or any other item, shall be made in full
without any deduction or withholding in respect of Tax or otherwise unless the
deduction or withholding is required by Law.  If such a deduction or withholding
is required or if any deduction or withholding in respect of Tax or otherwise
falls to be made in respect of any payment to any Finance Party under this
Agreement:

(a)    the Borrower shall ensure that the deduction or withholding does not
       exceed the minimum amount legally required;

(b)    the Borrower shall forthwith pay directly to the relevant Finance Party
       an additional amount calculated to ensure that the net amount received by
       that Finance Party (taking into account any deduction or withholding
       required on such additional amounts) will equal the full amount which
       would have been received by it had no such deduction or withholding been
       made; and

                                                                         Page 43
<PAGE>

(c)    the Borrower shall furnish to the Facility Agent on behalf of that
       Finance Party, within the period for payment permitted by the relevant
       Law, either:

          (i)     a copy of an official receipt of the relevant taxation or
                  other authorities involved in respect of all amounts so
                  deducted or withheld; or

          (ii)    if such receipts are not issued by the taxation or other
                  authorities concerned on payment to them of amounts so
                  deducted or withheld, a certificate of deduction or equivalent
                  evidence of the relevant deduction or withholding.

20.2   Tax Indemnity:  Without prejudice to clause 20.1 (Withholdings), if any
Finance Party is required to make any payment of or on account of Tax in respect
of any payments received or made hereunder, the Borrower shall upon demand of
the Facility Agent promptly indemnify that Finance Party against such Tax
(together with any interest, penalties, costs and expenses payable or incurred
in connection therewith, but only to the extent that such interest, penalties,
costs and expenses arise from the Borrower's failure or delay to so promptly
indemnify), provided that this clause 20.2 shall not apply to any Tax on the
overall net income of a Finance Party (or the overall net income of a division
or branch of a Finance Party) in the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or
its Facility Office is located.

20.3   Value Added Tax: The amounts stated in this Agreement to be payable by
the Borrower are exclusive of value added tax (VAT) which may be chargeable in
connection with those amounts. If any VAT or other similar tax is so chargeable,
it shall be paid by the Borrower at the same time as it pays the relevant
amounts.

Default Interest

21.    If:

(a)    an Event of Default under clause 25.1(a) (Non-payment) has occurred; or

(b)    any other Event of Default has occurred and the Facility Agent and/or the
       Security Agent, as the case may be, has delivered any notice to the
       Borrower as specified in clause 25.2 (Action on Event of Default),

the Borrower shall pay interest in the currency in which such amount is
denominated on all the outstanding Advances, whether or not due, at the Default
Interest Rate.  Interest under this clause 21 (Default Interest) shall accrue
daily on the basis of a year of 360 (three hundred and sixty) days in the case
of amounts payable in US dollars and a year of 365 (three hundred and sixty
five) days in the case of amounts payable in Baht and be calculated from the due
date until the date of actual payment.

With the exception of interest payable under clause 15.4 (Interest) in respect
of Tranche D Advances, if any interest on any Advance is unpaid for not less
than one year, it will be added to that Advance and the whole shall bear
interest at the rates provided in this clause.

                                                                         Page 44

                           CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES


Changes in Circumstances

22.1   Illegality: Where the introduction, imposition or variation of any Law or
any change in the interpretation or application of any Law makes it unlawful or
impractical without breaching such Law for any Lender to allow all or part of
its participation in the Facilities to remain outstanding or to fund all or part
of its participation in any of the Facilities, as the case may be, or to carry
out all or any of its other obligations under this Agreement or to charge or
receive interest at the rate applicable under this Agreement, upon that Lender
(following its consultation with the other Lender) notifying the Facility Agent:

(a)    the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower and that Lender's Commitment
       shall forthwith be reduced to the extent necessary to cure such
       illegality;

(b)    the Borrower shall, at the end of the relevant Interest Period or, if
       such event would make it so unlawful or impractical prior to the end of
       the relevant Interest Period, on the date as required by Law, prepay to
       that Lender all of that Lender's participation in the Facilities together
       with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment without any
       prepayment fee.

22.2   Increased Costs:  Subject to clause 22.3 (Increased Costs - Exceptions),
where any Finance Party determines that the enactment, introduction or variation
of any Law or any change in the interpretation or application of any Law, in
each case, occurring after the Signing Date, (including, without limitation, any
such Law relating to a change in the currency of a country, taxation, reserve
asset, special deposit, cash ratio, liquidity or capital adequacy requirements
and/or any other form of banking, fiscal, monetary or regulatory controls) would
cause it to incur or suffer an increased cost, such Finance Party shall,
following its consultation with the other Finance Parties, notify the Facility
Agent upon its becoming aware of such event and the Borrower shall forthwith on
demand pay to that Finance Party, such amounts as such Finance Party from time
to time certifies to the Facility Agent to be necessary to indemnify it against
such increased cost. The Borrower may also prepay to that Finance Party any
Advance which has been affected by such increased cost together with interest
accrued thereon to the date of prepayment without any prepayment fee.

In this Agreement increased cost means:

(a)    any direct or indirect additional cost to a Finance Party of making,
       maintaining or funding its Commitment or performing its obligations under
       the Financing Documents; or

(b)    any direct or indirect cost or loss incurred or suffered by a Finance
       Party in connection with the reduction of the amount of any sum received
       or receivable by it or its effective rate of return in respect of its
       Commitment or its Outstandings; or

                                                                         Page 45
<PAGE>

(c)    any direct or indirect cost or loss incurred or suffered by a Finance
       Party arising out of any requirement for a Finance Party to make any
       payment or suffer any Tax, cost or loss of relief or other benefits, or
       forgo any interest on, or calculated by reference to, any sum received or
       receivable by such Finance Party under this Agreement; or

(d)    any direct or indirect cost or loss incurred or suffered by a Finance
       Party in connection with the reduction of the rate of return to such
       Finance Party on its overall capital or on any class of its capital as a
       result of any change in the amount or nature of the capital resources
       required to be allocated in respect of such Lender's Commitment.

22.3   Increased Costs - Exceptions:  The Borrower shall not be obliged to make
any payment under clause 22.2 (Increased Costs) to the extent that the payment
is:

(a)    one in respect of which the Finance Party is entitled to be compensated
       under any other provision of this Agreement; or

(b)    attributable to any Tax on or any change in the rate of Tax on the
       overall net income of that Finance Party (or the overall net income of a
       division or branch of that Finance Party) in the jurisdiction in which it
       is incorporated or its Facility Office is located; or

(c)    attributable to any change in the Facility Office or principal office of
       any Finance Party.

22.4   Mitigation: If any of clauses 20.1 (Withholdings), 20.2 (Tax Indemnity)
or 22.2 (Increased Costs) operates in relation to any Finance Party to the
detriment of the Borrower:

(a)    such Finance Party shall, upon the request of the Borrower, enter into
       discussions with the Borrower with a view to determining what mitigating
       action might be taken by such Finance Party; and

(b)    at the request of the Borrower, the Facility Agent will enter into
       discussions with the Borrower with a view to determining what mitigating
       action might be taken by the Facility Agent with respect to the
       administration of this Agreement by the Facility Agent.

22.5   Market Disruption:  If, in relation to any Advance:

(a)    the Facility Agent is notified by any Lender that, by reason of
       circumstances affecting the Bangkok inter-bank market generally or the
       London inter-bank market generally, reasonable and adequate means do not
       or will not exist for ascertaining MOR Average or LIBOR, respectively,
       for the forthcoming Interest Period;

(b)    the Facility Agent is notified by any Lender that deposits in US dollars
       are not in the ordinary course of business available in the London inter-
       bank market

                                                                         Page 46
<PAGE>

       generally for a period equal to any forthcoming Interest Period in
       amounts sufficient to fund its participation in any Advance; or

(c)    the Facility Agent is notified by Lenders (the Affected Lenders) whose
       Commitments aggregate more than 30% (thirty per cent.) of the Total
       Commitments that LIBOR applicable to any Advance does not represent their
       effective cost of funding their participations in such Advance during the
       forthcoming Interest Period,

in which case the Facility Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and each
Lender, and:

          (i)     no further Advances shall be made while such circumstances
                  continue to exist;

                  Borrower and the Facility Agent (in consultation with the

                  arrive, by negotiation in good faith, at an alternative basis
                  acceptable to the Borrower and the Lenders for continuing the

                  Lender or Affected Lender, and notified through the Facility
                  Agent to the Borrower, as being the cost to that Lender of
                  continuing its Outstandings during the two periods referred to
                  in this paragraph; and

          (iii)   while any agreed alternative basis is in force, the Facility
                  Agent in consultation with the Lenders or, in the case of (c),
                  the Affected Lenders, shall periodically (but at least

                  basis is no longer necessary; and if the Facility Agent so
                  determines, it shall forthwith notify the Borrower and each
                  Lender and that basis shall cease to be effective on a date

27.4 (Exceptions), if a Finance Party (the Recipient Finance Party) receives or
recovers any amount (a Realised Amount) (other than from the Agents in
accordance with this Agreement) in respect of sums due from the Borrower under
the Financing Documents (whether by set-off or otherwise) it shall promptly
notify the Facility Agent of such amount and:

(a)  the Facility Agent shall, as soon as practicable, determine and notify the
     Recipient Finance Party of the portion (the Notified Portion) of the
     Realised Amount which the other Finance Parties would have been entitled to
     had the Recipient Finance Party received such amount pro rata to its
     entitlement under this Agreement;

(b)  the Recipient Finance Party shall promptly pay the Notified Portion of the
     Realised Amount to the other Finance Parties pro rata to their entitlements
     under this Agreement;

(c)  as between the Borrower and the Recipient Finance Party, the Notified
     Portion shall be treated as not having been paid but the obligations of the
     Borrower to the other Finance Parties shall be discharged to the extent of
     the related distribution made under paragraph (b) above.

For the purposes of calculation of pro-rata sharing under this Agreement, any
amount not denominated in Baht shall be notionally converted into Baht at the
Average Selling Rate.

27.3 Clawback:  If all or any portion of a Realised Amount becomes repayable and
is repaid by such Recipient Finance Party (whether pursuant to a court order
following the taking of business reorganisation proceedings or bankruptcy
proceedings against the Borrower or otherwise), then:

                                                                         Page 63
<PAGE>

(a)  each Finance Party receiving a payment under clause 27.2(b) shall, at the
     request of the Facility Agent, reimburse the Facility Agent for the account
     of the Recipient Finance Party all or the appropriate portion of the amount
     paid to the Finance Party under such clause together with its proportionate
     share of any interest paid by the Recipient Finance Party in respect of
     such amount;

(b)  the adjustments to obligations made pursuant to clause 27.2(b) shall to the
     appropriate extent be reversed.

27.4 Exceptions:

(a)  Clause 27.2 (Pro-rata Sharing) shall not apply in respect of any amount
     received from any person, other than the Borrower, arising out of a
     subparticipation or an assignment, transfer or novation pursuant to clause
     31 (Assignments and Transfers) or similar contractual arrangement.

(b)  A Finance Party shall not be entitled to any distribution under clause
     27.2(b) if the Realised Amount arises as a result of any court action or
     proceeding in relation to which such Finance Party was invited in writing
     to participate in and/or make a proportionate contribution in respect of
     associated costs, but did not do so.

Security Sharing Arrangements

28.1 Pari-Passu:  The rights of the Lenders among themselves under or in respect
of the Security shall at all times rank pari passu without preference or
priority of one over the other of them for all purposes and to all intents.

28.2 Security Sharing:  Subject to contrary instructions from the Majority
Lenders or contrary requirements of Law, the Security Agent may appropriate and
apply all moneys received or realised by the Security Agent, after the Security
has become enforceable in accordance with the Financing Documents through the
exercise or enforcement of the Security, in or towards discharging the liability
of the Borrower as follows:

(a)  firstly, in payment of all costs, charges, expenses and liabilities
     incurred and payments made by the Security Agent, the Facility Agent and
     any receiver, attorney, agent, delegate, sub-delegate or other person
     appointed by the Security Agent in accordance with the terms of the
     Security Documents in connection with the performance of its obligations
     hereunder or thereunder or the execution or purported execution of any
     powers, authorities or discretions vested in it pursuant hereto or thereto
     (including without limitation the remuneration of the Security Agent, the
     Facility Agent and of every such receiver or other person payable pursuant
     to the terms thereof);

(b)  secondly, in payment to the Lenders of the Secured Indebtedness rateably in
     the proportion which each Lender's Outstandings bears to the Total
     Outstandings as follows:

                                                                         Page 64
<PAGE>

         (i)   first, in payment pari passu and rateably of Secured
               Indebtedness, other than interest and principal amount, due to
               any Lender in the proportion that such Secured Indebtedness then
               due to each of the Lenders bears to the total of such Secured
               Indebtedness then due;

         (ii)  second, in payment pari passu and rateably of Secured
               Indebtedness comprising interest (including interest on overdue
               interest) which has accrued to the date of such application in
               the proportion that the amount of interest then due to each of
               the Lenders bears to the total amount of interest then due; and

         (iii) third, in payment pari passu and rateably of all outstanding
               principal amount in the proportion that the amount of such
               outstanding principal due to each of the Lenders bears to the
               total amount of all outstanding principal then due.

Pending such application such sums may be credited to any account which the
Security Agent deems appropriate.

28.3 Supplementary Provisions relating to Security:

(a)  Parent Guarantee: The Parties hereto agree that the Parent Guarantee shall
     be deemed to be security for the prompt payment by the Borrower pari passu
     and rateably of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Parent
     Guarantee) as if such Parent Guarantee formed part of the Security, in the
     proportion that the amount of such Guaranteed Obligations then due to each
     of the Lenders bears to the total of such Guaranteed Obligations then due.

(b)  Continuation of Security: As long as all or any of the Secured Indebtedness
     remains outstanding, all Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the
     Security and the Parent Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect as
     security for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness and the Guaranteed
     Obligations (as defined in the Parent Guarantee), respectively, and shall
     not be affected in any way by any interim settlement, Conversion or other
     matter or thing.  Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that
     no Conversion or other matter or thing under the Financing Documents is
     intended to be a discharge, cancellation or novation of the obligations of
     the Borrower or the Guarantor under the Financing Documents, unless
     otherwise specified in the Financing Documents.

(c)  Assignment and novation: In the event where there is any assignment of
     rights and benefits or any transfer of obligations by the Lenders pursuant
     to clause 31.2 (Assignment and Transfers by Lenders), the Parties hereto
     agree that the Security and the Parent Guarantee shall continue to secure
     the Secured Indebtedness and the Guaranteed Obligations, respectively, and
     the Borrower agrees to do all acts and things necessary to achieve this
     effect.

                                                                         Page 65

                          THE AGENTS AND THE ARRANGER


The Agents and the Arranger

29.1 Appointments:

(a)  Each Lender irrevocably authorises each Agent, subject to clause 29.3
     (Majority Lenders' Directions), to take such action on its behalf and to
     perform such duties and obligations and to exercise and carry out such
     powers, discretions, authorities and duties as are specifically delegated
     to it by the Financing Documents to which it is a party and to exercise
     such other powers, discretions, authorisations, and duties as the
     respective Agent reasonably considers are incidental thereto. Each Agent
     shall have only those duties and responsibilities which are expressly
     specified in the Financing Documents.  Except where an Agent is exercising
     a discretion under a Financing Document, its duties and responsibilities
     hereunder and under any other Financing Document are solely of a mechanical
     or administrative nature.

(b)  Each Lender irrevocably appoints the Facility Agent as its Agent, subject
     to clause 29.13 (Termination), to execute or accept, as the case may be,
     each of the Financing Documents which is expressed to be executed or
     accepted by the Facility Agent.

     assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations or duties
     to, the Finance Parties other than those for which specific provision is
     made by the Financing Documents or any obligations or duty to, any of the
     Obligors;

(b)  shall not be liable for any failure of any other party to any Financing
     Document duly and punctually to observe and perform any of its obligations

                                                                         Page 66
<PAGE>

(d)  may act under the Financing Documents through its personnel and agents; and

29.3 Majority Lenders' Directions:  In the exercise of any power or discretion
given to each Agent under the Financing Documents and as to any matter not
expressly provided for in the Financing Documents or where a decision of the
Majority Lenders is provided for, each Agent shall act or refrain from acting in
accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders.  In the absence of any
such instructions or instructions failing to indemnify any Agent to its
satisfaction, such Agent may act or refrain from acting as it shall see fit.
Any such instructions of the Majority Lenders or any such decision of the Agent
shall be binding on all the Lenders and the Agent shall not be liable to the
Borrower or the Finance Parties or any of them for the consequences of any such
instructions or decision.

29.4 Credit Approval:  In favour of the Arranger and each Agent, each Lender
acknowledges in connection with the Financing Documents:

(a)  that it has made such enquiries on its own behalf and taken such care as
     would have been the case had its participation in the Facilities been made
     directly by that Lender to the Borrower without the intervention of the
     Arranger or each Agent and that it has not relied, and does not rely, upon
     any information or advice provided, or any appraisal of, or investigation
     into, the financial condition, creditworthiness, affairs, status or nature
     of the Borrower effected or provided to it by any other Finance Party in
     such capacity;

(b)  that, subject to clause 29.8 (Transmitting Information), neither the Agent

     after the Signing Date to provide that Lender with any information or
     advice or to make any such investigation or appraisal.

29.5 Documentation:  Neither the Agent nor the Arranger nor any of their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable:

(a)  for the execution, validity, enforceability, adequacy or effectiveness of
     any of the Financing Documents or any document delivered pursuant thereto

(a)  for the consequences of relying on any communication or document believed
     by it to be genuine and correct and to have been communicated or signed by
     the person by whom it purports to be communicated or signed; or

                                                                         Page 67
<PAGE>

(b)   for the consequences of relying on the advice of any professional advisers
      selected by it in connection with the Financing Documents.

29.7  Concerning Default:  No Agent shall be obliged to take:

(a)   any steps to ascertain whether any Default has occurred and until it has
      received express notice to the contrary from the Borrower or a Lender, it
      shall be entitled to assume that no such Default has occurred; or

(b)   any proceedings against the Borrower for the recovery of any sum due under
      any of the Financing Documents or otherwise in connection therewith unless
      it has been fully indemnified to its satisfaction by each Lender in the
      proportion which that Lender's Outstandings bear to the Total Outstandings
      (or, if no Outstandings, that Lender's Commitment bears to the Total
      Commitments).

29.8  Transmitting Information:  Each Agent shall:

(a)   send a copy of all notices served by the Borrower under this Agreement and
      of all other documents delivered to it under the Financing Documents to
      each of the Finance Parties affected by such notice or document;

(b)   not be obliged to transmit to the Finance Parties any information in any
      way relating to any of the parties to the Financing Documents which it may
      have acquired otherwise than in its capacity as agent for the Finance
      Parties in connection with this Agreement.

29.9  The Agent and Arranger Individually:

(a)   Each Agent and Arranger shall, with respect to its own participation in
      the Facilities, have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and
      may exercise them as though it were not also acting as Agent or Arranger
      for the Lenders.

(b)   Each Agent, Arranger and its associates and affiliates may, without
      liability to disclose or account, accept deposits from, lend money to and
      generally engage in any kind of financial or commercial business with, or
      acquire or dispose of any kind of security of, the Borrower or any of its
      Subsidiaries (or its holding company or any of its Subsidiaries) and
      neither the Facility Agent, the Security Agent nor the Arranger nor any of
      their associates or affiliates shall have any obligation to disclose or
      account for any dealings with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or
      its holding company or any of its Subsidiaries) prior to the Signing Date.

(c)   Neither Agent nor Arranger shall be liable to account to any Finance Party
      for any sum or profit received by it for its own account, nor for any
      interest derived by it on any sum received by it for the account of any
      Finance Party and not immediately payable to such Finance Party.

29.10 Indemnity of Agents:  Without limiting the liability of the Borrower
under the Financing Documents, each of the Lenders shall fully indemnify each
Agent (including its various personnel and affiliates) rateably in the
proportion which that Lender's

                                                                         Page 68
<PAGE>

Outstandings bear to the Total Outstandings (or if no Outstandings, that
Lender's Commitment bears to the Total Commitments), from and against all
claims, proceedings, costs, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities of every
description (except in respect of any agency fee due to the Agents) which may be
incurred by such Agent in such capacity in good faith and which in any way
relate to or arise out of the Financing Documents or any related documents or
any action taken or omitted by such Agent in good faith in enforcing or
preserving, or in attempting to enforce or preserve, any of the rights of the
Finance Parties under the Financing Documents or any related documents.

29.11  Exoneration of Employees:  No Party may take any proceedings against any
officer, employee or agent of any Agent in respect of any claim it might have
against such Agent or in respect of any act or omission of any kind (including
gross negligence or wilful misconduct) by that officer, employee or agent in
relation to any Financing Document.

29.12  Compliance:  Each Agent may refrain from doing anything which might, in
its opinion, constitute a breach of any Law or be otherwise actionable at the
suit of any person, and may do anything which, in its opinion, is necessary or
desirable to comply with any Law of any jurisdiction and in particular each
Agent needs not disclose any information relating to the Borrower or any of its
related entities if the disclosure might, in its opinion, constitute a breach of
any Law or any duty of confidentiality.

29.13  Termination:  The Facility Agent, the Security Agent or the Majority
Lenders may at any time notify the Borrower, the other Agent and the Lenders of
the proposed resignation of the respective agency. After the giving of any
notice of proposed termination, the Majority Lenders may in writing appoint a
successor as Facility Agent or Security Agent, as the case may be. If such
successor is not appointed or has not accepted in writing the appointment within
30 (thirty) days after the notice of proposed termination, the Facility Agent or
Security Agent, as the case may be, may within a further 30 (thirty) days
appoint a successor with an office in Bangkok. If the Facility Agent or Security
Agent, as the case may be, is unable to make such appointment as described
herein it shall notify each of the Finance Parties as soon as possible and
thereafter such appointment of a successor shall be arranged by the Finance
Parties or the Borrower in agreement with the Lenders.

Notwithstanding such arrangements, the Facility Agent or Security Agent, as the
case may be, shall retire from the agency relationship upon the earlier of:

(a)    60 (sixty) days from its notice of proposed termination; or

(b)    the written acceptance (in such form as the Majority Lenders may approve)
       by a successor of its appointment as Facility Agent or Security Agent, as
       the case may be.

Upon such retirement:

(a)    such successor shall become bound by all the obligations of the retiring
       Agent and become entitled to all the rights, privileges, powers,
       authorities and discretions of such Agent under the Financing Documents;

                                                                         Page 69
<PAGE>

(b)   the agency of the retiring Agent shall terminate but without prejudice to
      any rights that may have accrued prior to the termination and without
      prejudice to any liabilities which the retiring Agent may have incurred
      prior to the termination of its agency;

(c)   the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further liability or
      obligation under the Financing Documents; and

(d)   any cost or expense incurred in connection with the termination of any
      agency and appointment under this clause shall be solely borne by the
      Borrower.

29.14 Arranger:  Without limiting any other provision of this clause 29, the
Arranger shall not have any rights, powers, obligations, liabilities,
responsibilities or duties under this Agreement other than those applicable to
all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Arranger shall not have
or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Arranger in
deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action
hereunder.

                                                                         Page 70

Amendments

30.1 Amendments: The relevant Agent may, (except where any other authority is
required for the same by the express provisions of the Financing Documents),
grant waivers or consents or amend the terms of any of the Financing Documents
if authorised by the Majority Lenders. Any such waiver, consent or amendment so
authorised and effected by the relevant Agent shall be binding on all the
Finance Parties and such Agent shall be under no liability whatsoever in respect
of any such waiver, consent or amendment. No amendment to the Financing
Documents will be binding on the Borrower without its written consent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the following matters shall require the
prior written consent of all the Finance Parties and the Borrower:

(a)  any extension, deferral or rescheduling of the date for, or decrease in the
     amount or change in the currency of, any payment of principal, interest,
     fee, commission or any other amount payable under the Financing Documents;

(b)  any increase in or amendment to any Lender's Commitment, except for any
     reduction, cancellation or termination of any Lender's Commitment occurring
     as a result of a review by the Lenders pursuant to clause 24.2 (Guarantor's
     Shareholding) which requires no prior written consent of the Borrower;

(c)  any extension of the Availability Period;

(d)  any variation of:

<PAGE>

31.2 Assignment and Transfers by Lenders:

(a)  A Lender (the Transferor Lender) may at any time, to the extent permitted
     by applicable Laws:

                Agreement; and/or

         (ii)   transfer all or any of its obligations under this Agreement,

     to any one or more banks or financial institutions (each a Transferee
     Lender), provided that the Transferor Lender has given 30 (thirty) days'
     advance notice to the other Lender, the Facility Agent and the Borrower of
     its intention to do so and the assignment and transfer procedure in clause
     31.3 (Assignment and Transfer Procedure) has been complied with.

(b)  Neither a Transferor Lender nor any other Finance Party is responsible to a
     Transferee Lender for:

         (i)    the execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or
                sufficiency of any Financing Documents or any other document;

         (ii)   the collectability of amounts payable under any Financing
                Documents or the financial condition of or the performance of
                its obligations under the Financing Documents by any Obligor; or

         (iii)  the accuracy of any statements or information (whether written
                or oral) made in or in connection with or supplied in connection
                with any Financing Documents.

(c)  Each Transferee Lender confirms to each Transferor Lender and the other
     Finance Parties that it:

         (i)    has made its own independent investigation and assessment of the
                financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related
                entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement
                and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it

                connection with any Financing Documents;

         (ii)   will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the
                creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities for so
                long as there are any Commitments or Outstandings under this
                Agreement.

(d)  Nothing in any Finance Document obliges a Transferor Lender to:

         (i)    accept a re-transfer from a Transferee Lender of any of the
                rights, benefits and/or obligations assigned or transferred
                under this clause; or

                                                                         Page 72

         (ii)   support any losses incurred by a Transferee Lender by reason of
                the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under any
                Financing Document or otherwise.

31.3 Assignment and Transfer Procedure:

(a)  An assignment of rights and benefits by the Lenders (the assignment) and a
     transfer of obligations by the Lenders (the transfer) are effected if:

         (i)    the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender deliver to the
                Facility Agent a duly completed Transfer Certificate executed by
                the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender;

         (ii)   in cases of the assignment of rights and benefits, the Facility
                Agent executes the Transfer Certificate and delivers the same to
                the Borrower; and

         (iii)  in cases of the transfer of obligations, the Facility Agent and
                the Borrower execute the Transfer Certificate.

(b)  Each Party (other than the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender)
     irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to execute any duly completed
     Transfer Certificate on its behalf.

(c)  To the extent that they are expressed to be the subject of the assignment
     or transfer in the Transfer Certificate:

         (i)    the Transferor Lender and the other Parties (the existing
